The weekend comes to a close. The Easter eggs are consumed, the good food and good times are just memories....life goes on as normal. It has been very rewarding to collaborate with my daughter in the kitchen, catch up on her life and enjoy some quality time... and get in my quota of hugs.

For Easter we forgo the ham and the turkey with all the trimmings and opt for a more relaxed celebration of the barbeque. The sun was shining and all was right with the world, so, I prepared my version of baby back ribs. They are brined overnight in a beer solution... sit for a day in a spice rub... and then after all that abuse are cooked for hours in the oven before finally... being flash cooked on the "barbie". My daughter prepared her infamous Barbequed Peppers...so sweet and tasty.

This morning my daughter heads back to university for another month and then will be done for this semester. We are headed out to breakfast...so "cheerio" for now.....

Place ribs on grill. Grill, covered, for about 12 minutes, basting with the reserved sauce, until nicely browned and glazed. Serve with remaining sauce for dipping.

Are potatoes playing hide and seek behind those ribs?Oooohhh, too bad your "baby" has to leave... Here in Spain, when sons/daughters go to University don't stay away for so long, they can come for lunch at home! They come to sleep at home too!I don't know if I could live your way when my daughter goes to University♥ I would miss her soooooooo! Like you do... I guess ;-)

I get very hungry when I am blogging in the wee hours hours of the morning Elly:DNot often that we hear the words "I wish I could live in Canada where it's warmer: Mary:DWe had a great time Neema:DYes those are Greek lemon potatoes hiding Nuria. IC my daughter only from May till September :(

Sounded like you girls had a great Easter visit! And those ribs make my mouth water! And what do I see peeking on the side of that plate? Could it be a potato??? We had a simple potato casserole for dinner also! And that French toast in your previous post...now I need some of that!

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
